A decade or so ago, my friend Jonathon made me lemon lavender ice cream and that opened my mind to think outside of the typical flavours. My mind has probably made that scoop out to be better than it really was but I will always remember it as perfect.

Teachertalk, I do too! As soon as I got home from university today I checked for today's costume. Also when my husband gets homes from work I tell him what Dumpling was wearing today but he doesn't seem to care as much as I do.

I use my rice cooker 5-7 days a week for rice but my heart belongs to my KitchenAid mixer. I don't want to ever go back to making whipped creme or whipped egg whites for angel food cake by hand ever again.

I've been making flax banana muffins each week for breakfast for a couple months now. I buy it already ground in the bulk bin section. I go through it pretty fast so I don't bother with buying them whole and grinding them myself since the ground and whole are the same price.
